About the House: The large fully equipped kitchen has a gas freestanding fireplace in the eating area.  There is a new stove,  refrigerator and microwave, along with all new dishes, cookware, and utensils.  A brick deck with a picnic  table is right outside the kitchen door along with a covered deck and a covered walkway with a large gentle  swing. The large comfortable living room has a fireplace with a heating insert, a television with VCR/DVD player,  and leather couches.  Available videos and DVDs can be ordered upon arrival.  A piano and corner reading  area make the living room comfortable for non-viewers too. A dining room has an antique table which has enough leaves to seat 10-12.  The view of the forest from  both living room and dining room is wonderful.  The quiet is a blessing for those whose lives include much  busy noise and confusion.  This is a resting place for all. The upstairs loft is open to the living room below and contains four bookshelves filled with unusual and  interesting books and games.  There is a small seating area overlooking the space below which invites a  quiet read. Just off the kitchen is a laundry and half-bath.  The washer and drier along with soaking sink - for clothes  and even babies - make a long stay perfect. There is a small sunroom/studio with growing plants, a two person bright spot for morning (or anytime) coffee drinking.  There is a sink located there, perhaps for an artistic project cleanup. Floors are tile and oak with many area rugs.  Walls are pine and cedar.  Cupboards are butternut.  The  soaring hemlock purlins, solid douglasfir trusses and clerestory windows create an awe inspiring atmosphere.   Sunshine bathes the surroundings with a lovely glow.  Curtains on most windows are unnecessary. The walls are furnished with framed posters and artwork from the owners travels.
